Important Travel Tips for this Tour:
- Visa Requirements: You must have a full Egypt Visa sticker in your passport (purchased at the airport upon arrival in Egypt), not just the free Gulf of Aqaba stamp.
- Hotel Arrangements: Be sure to request a takeaway breakfast box from your Sharm El Sheikh hotel reception the night before your trip. If you have a half-board package, you can also request a late dinner for your return!
- What to Wear: Comfortable walking shoes, lightweight trousers, a sun hat, and sunscreen are highly recommended.
